Gradual Reduction in MF Effectiveness

[Taem]

my sample will probably be not nearly big enough to come to a conclusion about the topic of this thread. Nevertheless, I'll do it,

I would be very interested in contributing my help towards this endeavor, as I'm sure everyone interested that posted so in this thread can also contribute. We need some agreed upon guidelines before we start:

1.) Virgin character to test with (has not killed said boss yet)

>>We seem to all be in agreement that long-lived MF'ers have less than adequate drops, leading me to believe we should all start with new characters, level them up a bit, then start MF'ing and record our results. Only then will the results be accurate.

2.) 'X' Boss and/or Area to test in (preferably boss for faster results)
3.) Amount of MF if any (I suggest 150%~easily obtainable and the perfect amount for 100% uniques)

>>If we decide to do that MF trick/cheese where we always get "first kill" drops, then we won't even need any MF. Maybe we should test this “trick” way with one character, and with normal MF on a character that’s already killed the boss.

I'm sure theres more guidelines or suggestions everyone might have for testing purposes. I'm not sure how to list the MF "trick" as opposed to normal MF'ing, but I suggest anyone interested post their findings in this thread with the following listing:

All Runs done in (single or multiplayer [single, realm, or TCP/IP])
#people in game (or players 'x')
Run#, act, area or boss, mf%, items dropped

EXAMPLE:
All runs done in Multiplayer (Realms); 1 Person in game
RUN#-ACT-AREA/BOSS-MF%-ITEMS
1-Act5-Baal-150-set, unique, rare, rare, blue
2-Act5-Baal-150-rare, rare, rare, blue, blue
3-Act5-Baal-150-set, rare, rare, rare, rare
etc...

If anyone has a better idea on how to list this or anything, please feel free to trash this as you see fit :D . I'm half awake right now so I'm not sure how much sense I'm making.
